From Fox News: "The Army has stripped its top two managers overseeing Arlington National Cemetery of their authority and appointed a new executive director after an internal investigation found that potentially hundreds of remains have been misidentified to misplaced." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/06/10/army-fires-administrators-mismanagement-arlington-cemetery/?test=latestnews
The managers may have stripped of their duties but they have not been fired: Army Secretary John McHugh, who released the results of the report Thursday, announced that the cemetery's superintendent, John Metzler, will be under supervision until he retires next month, and Metzler's deputy, Thurman Higgenbotham, has been placed on administrative leave.
While the mistakes involve about 50-60 internments out of about 300,000 internments, their bungling is unacceptable in America's most hallowed cemetery for veterans.
One hopes this will not happen again, especially when we have 2 wars ongoing.
